Accessibility notes

  • Ensure high contrast for text; all palette colors are light and require dark text (e.g., black, dark brown, or charcoal).
  • Avoid using light text on any of these pastel backgrounds to prevent readability issues.
  • When using #FFFACD as a background, ensure sufficient contrast for any overlaid text or iconography.
  • Consider using a slightly darker version of #D8BFD8 or #B0E0E6 for larger headings to improve legibility if white text is desired, but dark text is generally safer.
